There's something strange going on here:

Math lib:

    mpfr_concept_check and ntl_concept_check are marked up in 
expected_failures.xml (and have been since they were added - they rely on 
external third party software to pass), but are still being shown as 
regressions.
    test_hypergeometric_dist2 and test_hypergeometric_dist3 are failing due 
to internal compiler errors in msvc-8, but strangely they compile just fine 
locally.  I don't really see what I can do here...

Regex lib:

    regex_timer is failing on two platforms (including vc-8) but works fine 
here, and in any case there are no pertinent changes as far as I can tell. 
The program output here: http://tinyurl.com/yzm2xpm suggests it ran OK to 
completion, and yet it's still marked as failing, is the full build log 
available somewhere?

TR1/type_traits Libs:

    Failures form vc7.1 and things that aren't supported with that 
compiler - it's possible that they're work-round-able, but will mark up for 
now.
